Flavor, Fun, and Views: Why Chao Pescao is a Peninsula Favorite

Often called the "neighborhood favorite" around the peninsula, Chao Pescao is a lively, open-air restaurant and bar that is all about relaxed vibes. It sits right on the edge of a lush tropical forest, giving you great views overlooking Marina Papagayo while fun Latin music plays in the background. It is the perfect, easygoing spot for friends and families to just kick back and unwind.

The menu is built for sharing, featuring creative small plates that take you on a tasty tour of Latin America and the Caribbean. It is a blast to order a bunch of dishes for the table and try new flavors together. Pair those bites with their awesome, award-winning cocktails, and you are set for a great night. If you want to do more than just eat, you can also sign up for a Mixology Class to learn their drink secrets or a Pura Vida Kitchen Class to master making traditional empanadas from scratch.

Planning a night out here is super easy. The Viridian Experience team is ready to book a great dinner or afternoon class for you. Here the Neighborhood dinner menu.
